No, I'm not talking about CalicoKat Jim Friday evening before the Hikin' Fools get together, one of my cats bit me deeply in the upper arm by my right elbow. Saturday morning it hurt like heck but seemed to get better as the day progressed.

Woke up Sunday morning and felt awful -- like I had the flu. The arm was also swollen, red, hot and extremely painful. Moving it was agony. Uh oh...all signs of infection.

Went to the doc today. As suspected, I have cellulitis. I'm now on oral antibiotics. I was running a temperature so was also given a shot.

Ouch! Silly kitty didn't know you were just trying to break up a cat fight. Feel better.
